June Carol Cousens (Deane) of Cochrane, Alberta
May 25, 1949 – September 2, 2019
It is with great love and sadness, we announce, June went to be with the Lord peacefully on the morning of September 2, 2019, ending her four and a half year battle with pancreatic cancer. She was 70 years young. She was surrounded by her family and a few friends when she passed. June will be lovingly remembered by husband, Bruce Cousens of 31 years; 3 children and their spouses, Lane & Char Irvine, Lee & Michelle Irvine and Kara & Terry Reimer; grandchildren, Zackariah Irvine, Cadence Irvine, Cole Irvine, Levi Reimer, Jake Irvine, Micah Irvine & Tyson Reimer. All of these she loved and touched deeply. Her legacy will live on.
June was a dedicated wife, mother and nana. She treasured her family but especially loved her role as nana. She had a vivacious personality and always made others around her feel loved and cared for. Shy, reserved, introverted and meek, said no one ever in describing her. June’s passion poured out of her while doing any activity. She loved being a teacher, principal and was passionate about making a difference in the lives of her students. June did her very best to live the most full life possible. She loved being in God’s creation and being with her horses and many other animals. June was strong willed and never gave up. She wanted to do and be better, every day. In the last several years June really enjoyed her time in Mesa, Arizona where she picked up many new hobbies including pickle ball, biking, and exploring the desert both on foot and horseback. June will be greatly missed but never forgotten.
Her life was a living example of Ephesians 4:32 ‘And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ.’ She felt we should live our faith not just speak it.
Please help us in celebrating her life on Friday, September 6, 2019, at 3pm at Bow Valley Christian Church, 5300 53 Ave NW. In lieu of flowers please honor June with donations to Canadian Cancer Society (www.cancer.ca) or Make a Wish Foundation (www.makeawish.ca).
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of June Carol Cousens..
